Description

Which is moe dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool?What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common?Why do drug dealers still live with their mums?How much do parents really matter? These may not sound like a typical questions for an economist to ask. But Steven D. Levitt is not a typical economist. He is a much-heralded scholar who studies the stuff and riddles of everyday life -- from cheating and crime to sports and child rearing -- and whose conclusions regularly turn conventional wisdom on its head. He usually begins with a mountain of data and a simple, unasked question. Some of these questions concern life-and-death issues; others have an admittedly freakish quality. Thus the new field of study contained in this book: Freakonomics.
